Chapter 439 Chapter 440: Playmates and companion reading
Qingyao Hall is covered with vines and flowers, and a pomegranate tree in the corner is verdant. At this time, the pomegranates on the tree are already the size of a child's fist, but it will take some time before they are really edible.
Under the tree, Feng Yi was playing skipping stones, which is similar to the checkers of later generations. Anshun and several servants were accompanying him. Yun Zhao was sitting on a stone bench not far away, waving a round fan and watching them play.
There is only such a child in the entire palace, and Feng Yi doesn't even have a playmate of the same age. This is not good.
Yun Zhao thinks this is a big deal, and a child’s childhood cannot be missing.
It was urgent to find a playmate for her child, and she wanted to discuss it with Feng Yi.
It is important to keep an eye on Qin Xiyue, but the happy growth of her son cannot be ignored.
At noon, Feng Yi came to have lunch, and Yun Zhao told him the matter.
Feng Yi was stunned and looked up at Yun Zhao, "I originally planned to find some reading companions for him when he starts his enlightenment next year."
"It's still a long time to wait until next year. It's boring for a child to play by himself now. Even if Anshun and the others can play with him, they are adults after all, and they all let him coax him and manipulate him. This may not be a good thing. Only when children of the same age play together can he know what childlike fun is."
"What you said makes sense. Do you have any children from any family you like?"
Song Yunzhao was confused.
Feng Yi explained to her, "Choosing a playmate is different from reading with me. When choosing a reading partner, I would most likely choose an elder in the family who has profound knowledge. Most of the children raised by such families are not bad in knowledge. If I choose to accompany Feng Yi Studying is the best. If you are a playmate, it would be simpler. You must come from a noble family and have good conduct."
Song Yun Zhaomo, this requirement is really not low at all.
Just by family background, you can eliminate most of the people. If you eliminate some people by virtue of their character, how many will be left?
“Of course the most important thing is to have someone who is close to your family, who will also help in the future.”
Song Yunzhao looked up at Feng Yu, and his heart skipped a beat.
“If you want to be a playmate, you should not be as old as Zie’er, but at least two or three years older, someone who can play with him and take care of him.”
Song Yunzhao:…
She didn’t think so much.
Feng Yi looked at her expression and couldn't help but feel happy, "Don't worry about this matter. If you have suitable candidates, tell me and I will see if they can be used. If not, I will pick a few to go to the palace to accompany Zhe'er." Let’s take a look for a while.”
"It's a pity that the Song family doesn't have any suitable children. It would be best if there were any."
Song Yunzhao's cousin's child is still in Princess Duanjing's belly. Her eldest brother has not even gotten married yet, and there is no trace of his wife, let alone the child.
To talk about this, I have to say that Ms. Cai is really derelict in her duties as a mother. Her heart is all about Song Qinghan. In the past few years, she has been constantly getting involved in her affairs, and she can't even take care of her son's marriage.
Song Weiming, who was not married after Song Weiyue, could only wait, fearing that Aunt Che would not know how to scold Mr. Cai.
However, Song Yunzhao didn't intend to interfere with these matters at all. Song Huiming had Aunt Che and Song Jinxuan to help him. He was afraid that the candidates were privately optimistic, and they were waiting for Song Huanyue to get married so that they could mention it to their father.
As for Song Fanyue, Song Yunzhao can be said to be avoiding his marriage. If she asks about it, you will see that Cai will jump up.
The Song family cannot be pointed out. We can only check from the close relatives to see if there is anyone who wants to enter the palace to accompany the family.
This thing coexists wealth and danger. If you have a good relationship with the prince, it will naturally bring more benefits to the family. But if you are disliked and disliked by the prince, of course there will be more dangers.
Besides, some families are not willing to use this as a way to get promoted, fearing that it will be bad for the family's reputation. So it’s easy to say, but it’s actually quite difficult to choose.
So at this time, in-laws are the best choice because they are natural allies.
Song Yunzhao didn't know how old each family's children were, what their temperament was like, or what the children's family members were like. Of course, it was best to leave it to Feng Yi at this time, lest she give random instructions and end up causing trouble.
Feng Yi responded to Yun Zhao, "I'll look back and look for myself and find some good ones for Feng Yi."
Song Yunzhao immediately flattered everyone and made everyone happy. After lunch, Feng Yi took his son away, and Yunzhao rarely calmed down.
She called Xiangxue to ask about Qin Xiyue's affairs.
"Qin Wanyi's whereabouts are very regular. Basically every morning she and An Xiaoyi go to greet the Queen Mother. After greeting the Queen Mother, they usually enjoy the scenery and drink tea in Pingyun Pavilion. Occasionally they also play chess with other concubines to pass the time. Sometimes they also She would play in the garden with three or two people, and she was rarely seen alone."
Tsk, it’s really difficult to be so cautious.
This shows that the more cautious she is, the bigger her plans are.
Song Yunzhao nodded, "Keep staring, as I said before, don't alert the enemy."
"Don't worry, Madam." Xiangxue nodded in agreement.
Since there was no movement at Qin Xiyue's side, she asked again, "Where is Huangjue Temple?"
"Xu Ji did not do anything at Huangjue Temple. She just met Mrs. Wu Xinhou yesterday. However, our people came back with news that Xu Ji and Mrs. Wu Xinhou did not mention anything about the palace, and they did not let Wu Xinhou Whatever Madam helps her with, it seems like it’s really just a visit.”
Song Yunzhao:…
Seeing that the empress didn't look so good, Xiangxue said hurriedly: "Empress, Manager Zhang has asked people to secretly keep an eye on the Wu Xinhou Mansion. Don't worry."
Yun Zhao felt at ease when Zhang Maoquan did things. Hearing what Xiangxue said, he knew that although Zhang Maoquan got the news and Xu Ji and Mrs. Wu Xinhou didn't say anything, they were mother and daughter after all. He was so careful, which made Yun Zhao feel at ease.
Feeling depressed as things were not progressing, Yun Zhao simply left Qingyao Hall and went directly to Lu Zhixue.
When he was in the palace, Lu Zhixue often went to Yaohua Palace, but since arriving in the garden, Feng Yi often went to Qingyao Palace during these days, and Lu Zhixue never came here again.
Song Yunzhao knew what Lu Zhixue meant. He was afraid that she would meet the emperor when she came. It would be embarrassing if they bumped into each other. Lu Zhixue was also afraid that he would be too worried, so he avoided it.
Yun Zhao smiled when he thought of this. You see, if everyone gets what they need, they can become a strong alliance. For example, they can already see clearly the people they are close to, not because they are jealous, but because they have discovered that Feng Yi does not like to favor other concubines.
She and Feng Yi have reached a delicate balance. Unless one of them takes the initiative to break this state, others cannot intervene.
When she arrived at Lu Zhixue's place, she heard laughter before she even entered.
The palace attendants immediately went in to deliver the message, followed closely by Lu Zhixue, followed by Han Jinyi and Feng Yunjin, and finally Wang Zhaorong's face was revealed.
Everyone greeted Yun Zhao and welcomed her in.
Lu Zhixue said: "What kind of wind has brought Concubine Ming here today? You are a rare guest."
Song Yunzhao didn't bother to pay attention to her strange mood, and directly replied, "The wind is blowing from the southeast to the northwest."
Everyone burst into laughter.
